Madden 18 Plagued By Performance Lag

Since its release yesterday, Madden 18 has a problem that appears to be growing: frame rate lag.

Forums from MUTHEAD to Answers.EA.com have seen multiple people complaining about Madden 18 frame rate lag. The Madden subreddit has several (1, 2, 3, and counting) posts about it as well.

Some people say the frame rate lag can for several seconds in both online and offline mode. The majority of the user complaints come from the Sony community covering PS4 and Pro Madden18 players. While there has a few Xbox user complaints, the majority say the game runs silky smooth.

EA has yet to make a statement about the issue. Exactly how many players are having this issue is still unclear.
